Schmersal BNS16-12ZV is a coded-magnet safety interlock switch designed for door interlock on movable machine guards. It provides a 1NO/2NC contact configuration with a 400 mA switching current and a voltage rating up to 100 V, in a screw-terminal package with IP67 protection and a plastic housing. The unit features top-entry activation direction and is part of Schmersal’s BNS16 family, intended for safety interlocks on guarded machinery. Used in safety circuits to ensure the guard is closed before machine operation, it helps meet safety standards by reliably detecting door status via coded-magnet sensing.
